:: Delegating!
The following statement was made by DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez regarding the veto override that occurred Monday for the bi-partisan transportation funding bill in the MN Legislature:
“With today’s override of Governor Pawlenty’s veto, Minnesotans can finally regain some confidence that our state is back on the road to rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, reducing gridlock, and improving public transit."
It is nice to see our legislature finally standing up to Pawlenty - particularly senior DFLers who have been a little timid on exercising the rights and power of the majority party. Like we have experienced with republican leadership nationwide over the last seven years, from the President on down, tax cuts don't help our economy, it hurts it. Why? Without government funding for programs and infrastructure, the American people become hobbled.
It is time to turn things around in Washington and locally. That is why I have volunteered to be a precinct delegate at this weekend's DFL District 36 convention. If we are really going to change this country, it has to start at the grass roots level. So, I am getting involved. I will try and keep you posted on what I learn and what happens!

:: Super Bowl XLII - Pierre's Pick
Yeah, I haven't had the energy to pick a certain topic to blog about...but I thought that a Super Bowl pick would work well, and I am sick of the Dec. 23 post dominating my website.
Patriots by 21
Why such a spread? Well, I expect Eli Manning to wet his pants and throw 3 int's, and I expect the Pats defense - led by Junior - to steamroll the Giants. I don't think I need to say much about the Pats defense...Brady will hook up Welker and Moss like rail cars going over the hump in a classification yard - its gonna be automatic and repetitive...and LOUD!
Have fun watching the ads.
